Interesting France article. Ribery, Anelka and Abidal are definitely Muslim, and I’m assuming Nasri, Benzema and Ben Arfa are as well due to their heritage. But I have never seen anything other than internet rumors saying either Thierry Henry or Lilian Thuram are muslim. (Thuram at one time wanted to be a Catholic priest.) Anybody with facts to the contrary, I’d love to see supporting links, particularly interviews.
